Looking for more FREE Continuing Education Opportunities? Our friends at GOJO are here to help!

Our friends at GOJO came to us and asked a simple question, “what are Long Term Care providers looking for from their partners?”  Based on what we’ve seen and heard in the field our response was that there is a desperate need for  continuing education opportunities at either low or no cost.  Also that these continuing education opportunities need to be easy to earn and help make a difference in their work place.

With that said GOJO has delivered and they’re letting us help bring the opportunity to you!  GOJO, the makers of  and , have created a webinar in conjunction with NADONA/LTC, the National Association of Directors of Nursing for Long Term Care,  on infection prevention.

The webinar, titled Emerging Models of Infection Prevention in Long Term Care, features Deborah Health, RN, BSN and Neal Larson, RN-BC, is an hour long and covers the importance of maintaining a hand hygiene program in the Long Term Care setting.

What makes this CE webinar even better is that it’s totally free.  In order to take this course click here to be redirected and you’re well on your way to earning one free CEU.

For more information on this webinar as well as other opportunities to earn CEUs please feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to let you know what we know!

New Skin Wellness System by Kendall

Our friends at Kendall, a part of Covidien, have introduced their new Skin Wellness System in an effort to be the complete partner in providing top notch care for your patients.  Kendall’s system is designed to cleanse, moisturize, protect and treat skin and when you use each of the products in the line you can very effectively care for damaged skin, especially damage caused by incontinence.

The products in Kendall’s Skin Wellness System contain jojoba oil, a natural extract from the seeds of the jojoba plant that very closely resembles the oils found in our skin.  This resemblance allows the jojoba oil to be easily absorbed into the skin and with repeated application the moisturizing and skin protection effects of the jojoba oil are maximized.

As mentioned before you’ll find in this program products to cleanse, moisturize, protect and treat skin.  There are two no rinse cleansing options (Body Wash and Shampoo and 2-in-1 Cleanser), three options for moisturizing (Moisturizing Lotion, Moisture Barrier Cream and Soothing Ointment), one option for protection (Antimicrobial Cleanser) and one for treatment (Antifungal Cream).

Grove is one of only a handful of distributors in the healthcare supply chain with access to Kendall’s new Skin Wellness line so give us a call, email or visit our website for more information, we’d love to help you!
